This seven man crew will set sail in a Cornish Gig boat and row 50 miles non-stop for 12 hours across the English Channel from Nieuwport to Ramsgate in their attempt to raise £20,000 towards beating cancer. The catch? Not one of them has ever rowed before!

The challenge will take place in June, but the crew have been training hard in all weathers.
